I was hesitant reading the reviews but brought it anyway! This is exactly what I expected. When I was young I would have the hot comb that was heated by the heat on a stove so I know exactly how these hot combs work. I’m so thankful they’ve made it electric! My hair is corse but this hot comb works extremely well at straightening out the thickness and works wonders one my edges (which I actually brought this for). I am natural so needed something that wasn’t going to get me bone straight as I love my hair looking straight but retaining its volume, bone straight hair for me looks flat and lack lustre. The comb itself has very thin teeth that you’d find on a normal hair comb with a rat tail.

Best investment I have made for my frontal and closure wigs.-The hot comb lays my wig super flat, no humps or ‘mountain partings’.(I use the hot come and straighteners in the “chase method” to straighten my wigs.I use the hot comb with styling moose/foams, wax sticks and serums on all my wigs.)-The hot comb gets super hot, so would recommend being very careful when using.It is easy to use, just one switch to turn on and off, there’s no temperature adjustment.It’s kinda sturdy, I handle this with care though.-The price of this item tends to fluctuate on Amazon, I got mine for around £30 but have seen it on here for £50 and £60.Shipping was very fast. Mine was shipped and purchased from Amazon,

My thirteen year old daughter has a best friend who has stunning Afro hair, it's long, very thick and beautifully curly (sometimes frizzy). I would just love to hair like hers. Unbelievably she doesn't actually like it and would rather have straight hair like my daughters. So I thought I would let her try this Wahl Afro Root Styler to see what she thinks.My daughter's friend had no problem in using this variable temperature root styler and was delighted with the results. She was able to get really close to the roots and found that although she was unable to completely straighten her hair, using this tool she did a pretty good job of taming her hair into a sleek looking high ponytail.

Great little comb, perfect for my weaves. I was worried it would not get hot enough or that it would get too hot, because it only has an on off switch. But my worries were unfounded as the temperature that it gets too is perfect. The only reason I never gave five stars is because the stand that it's attached to doesn't work, it just flops down, meaning the comb sits on the rubber bit that is intended as a base. But I have a heat protective mat that I got with a different heating tool so I'll use that instead. Apart from that it's worth the money.

Works quite well, but does take a bit of effort. It is basically two combs mounted on either side of a heating rod. You comb through your hair and the heat helps to set your hair. It works, but unlike a traditional hair straightener where two iron plates work together to straighten the hair, with this there is only one heat source and no iron to press against the hair, so it takes a bit more time.On the plus side, the design does let you get closer to the root than traditional straighteners.

My hair is shoulder length, dry and frizzy. It is naturally curly. When I straighten my hair this leaves the hair feeling lifeless and lacking in volume.This styler gets close to the roots to enable me a bit of lift. It was a faff to start with, but I've got the hang of it now and it's less effort.Ceramic so less damaging to my hair, it heats up to very hot so does burn your head if not careful!This is a lovely addition to my hair care, very pleased with it.

I bought this product despite there being more negative than positive reviews. I've learnt from experience that reviews are subjective, so on that basis I purchased it. I'm glad I did!I find this product ideal for my fine hair, as the maximum heat is not too high therefore, prevents the hair for being scorched. My daughter has very thick 4c hair and she uses it to lighten hair so that she can manage it on a daily basis, as she wears it in it's natural state.

This hair straightener worked quite well on my wife's hair. It did seem a bit fiddly at first but given time will doubtless become more routine. It allows you to comb through your hair from the roots and the heat in the device's rod straightens your hair and gives it lift and volume. It heats up fast and it's easy to control the temperature. With a bit of experimentation and effort she got close to the look she was trying to achieve.

Honestly this is the first hot comb I have ever purchased, and I am so happy with the item. It gets really hot, like super hot, and it really does straighten the hair and gives a sleek finish. However I personally wouldn't recommend straightening the whole hair with just this, I would suggest using a straightener for the the ends of your hair, but use the hot comb for the roots!

Wahl make products mainly for the Afro-Caribbean market. I am white (and bald!) but I asked my Caribbean colleague to trial this. She reported that it was one of the best of this type of product that she had tried, ideal for tackling the roots below her extensions (it says here...). Good ergonomics and excellent temperature control. Good value and highly recommended.

Obtained for my daughter whose hair is afro and frizzy and difficult to straighten and style. Tried a few methods with mixed levels of success. This gets to the routes better than previous styles we have used. It also heats quickly. It works quickly and well. Nice size for portability. Impressed.

Firstly people giving this 1 or 2 stars were expecting a miracle!It gets hair fairly straight, i mainly use it to straighten my roots. For that sleek straight hair you will need to go over with straighteners.The stand is too weak to support comb but apart from that i really like this item.

This is a good size and feels comfortable in the hands when using. Heats up quickly and holds its heat well. It styled the drier frizzy curly roots better than most things we have tried and certainly have lift. A good named brand and this shows in its quality and packaging. Great gift.

I have been using this for a few months and would not go without it. It can get to the roots a lot better than the ordinary straighteners especially useful on the thick / mixed/ afro hair. It can help reduce volume and make it easy to style. I absolutely love it.

Best thing ever! I’ve seen so many YouTubers and hairdressers use this so I HAD to purchase my own& ever since I received this my wigs have been flat flat!!!! I’ve been stealing people’s men with my flat hair. Will definitely buy 2 more as back up
